It took carbon fibre a quarter of a century to go from laboratory curiosity to engineering material.

That 3-D data then got plugged into a solid-modeling program where engineering parameters such as material, thickness and structure were assigned to the shape.

FORBES: Easy Designer

It does not make sense economically as ANY alcohol fuel cost more to produce and supply than the gasoline it is replacing especially if you consider the infrastructure improvements necessary to transport and contain the material and the engineering required to design an engine that can run on it.

FORBES: Breakthrough in Biofuels? Maybe.

Corporate clients might be harder to come by but would probably be drawn from sectors that deal with material sciences, particularly engineering or metallurgy, where a low-gravity environment would make possible types of research and production that are impossible or prohibitively expensive on Earth.

Among those being recognized is U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Alan Samuels, a Reserve Officer assigned to the Army Reserve Sustainment Command in support of the Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), a part of the Army Material Command.

WHITEHOUSE: Champions of Secure Energy

The technique used by Green and Hollister is part of a burgeoning field called regenerative medicine, which involves engineering therapies -- using things like stem cells, or "body parts" constructed out of biological material -- to harness the body's ability to heal itself.

Going from a state school to a prestigious engineering institution, he was floored on the first day when a professor expected everyone to have already learned the material in the first six chapters of an algorithms textbook.
